The episode, which may air as the season premiere, focuses on the annoying habits of some of the characters.

Stonestreet, who plays Cameron, told TV Guide: "The premise of the episode is Phil [Ty Burrell] and Cameron both have some qualities that aren't desirable to Claire [Julie Bowen] and Mitchell [Jesse Tyler Ferguson], so they plot to have each other tell the other's spouses about them."

Stonestreet added that Mitchell will be annoyed about Cameron's new clothes, saying: "Cam has started working out again and is wearing bicycle shorts and Mitchell's claim is that no-one looks good in bicycle shorts."

Stonestreet also joked that the shorts "don't leave anything to the imagination", while Ferguson said: "Eric warned me that he's already asked that the shorts be even shorter than they already were."
